Day 84 - I am passionate about accessibility and equity and so today I ran our app through a tool called Lighthouse to check how accessible it is. I then spent time checking and correcting features as needed #100DaysOfCode

Day 82 - We separated into small groups to work on front end, back end and database. This was to help us to complete all of our tickets in the short-time we have. We can share our expertise as well as learn skills we are less familiar with from others #100DaysOfCode
